Chanel Summer 2011: Lilium Eyeshadow Quad

Chanel Lilium Eyeshadow Quad ($57) is the new quad released in the Chanel Fluers d’Ete summer collection. When I first saw this quad it didn’t really strike me as very summery at all.  When I saw the greens in the quad I immediately go to spring, with all the green outside. But after the MA applied this on my eyes I was sold.  Each shadow has some shimmer or sheen to it, no matte finishes here.  All four shades apply very nicely on their own but even better over a base.  Each color blends well with each other and is super smooth to the touch.  Now on to the shades…

The lightest shade is a soft pinky beige with a subtle iridescence. The second lightest shade is a light chartreuse green with a frost finish. Then there is a deep bluish green with a metallic finish (definitely a great crease color and/or a liner color). The last shade is a gray taupe with shimmer. Overall this is a beautiful quad to start off the summer.

Chanel Summer 2011: Bronze Rose Soliel Tan De Chanel

Chanel Bronze Rose Soliel Tan De Chanel ($50) is my absolute favorite product from the summer 2011 collection from Chanel. This is a limited edition product that also comes in a deeper coral shade. Me being the fair one that I am, I opted for the lighter of the two.

Both shades come with 4 different stripes of colors that are super soft in texture. There is a slight shimmer/sheen to all the shades, which blended together gives a beautiful glow. The top color is a soft medium tan color with soft shimmer, the second a peach with pink iridescence, the third is a deep coopery bronze and the fourth is a bright pink rose color with a soft sheen. When blended all together the bright pink shade gets mixed well with the bronze shades to great a great natural tan glow, not orangey at all. Almost no need for a blush on top. When I got my makeup done this past Saturday at the Chanel event, the MA blended the first three shades together to contour and bronze and then used the pink rose color has a pop of color on the apple of the cheeks. The result was beautiful. Overall LOVE this new addition to my makeup collection and plan on using it all the time!

Chanel Summer 2011: Pink Peony Glossimer

For summer, Chanel released three new Glossimer shades ($28.50) that are limited edition. Glossimers are a sheer gloss formula often designed for layering over lip color. I love Glossimers for their soft shimmer and easy to wear texture and the color selection is great. The texture is not sticky at all and applies very smoothly. I only picked up one color from the summer collection, Pink Peony.

Pink Peony is a rosy pink with soft shimmer. It delivers high shine when worn on its own and over a lip color. At my Chanel makeover, the MA used this color over Gardenia Rouge Coco and the shimmer really stood out. It’s a great color for summer and I have been wearing it non-stop since Saturday.
